Semi-Colon Immersive Event - Main Image

Welcome to Abhiraj Dadiyan’s sound walk “Semi-Colon”. Abhiraj nearly extinguished his own light a few years ago; now he acts as a lamplighter for others. “Death has always given me her bed, but never her hand …” His meandering, philosophical walk invites the listener to interact with nature in imaginative and playful ways. Trigger warning: talk of suicide throughout but always returning to hope and light. (Original music by Jeff Bird) You will need your cellphone AND headphones (and maybe bug spray, sunscreen, and water!).
